As I contemplate storage options for the mounds of design samples I’ve accumulated (not only my own, but others I’ve saved for inspiration), I’m also hoping to make a quick decision on carpet tiles from Flor. Samples arrived yesterday and now it’s decision time.]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/looking-down-and-all-around/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/spotted-national-park-stamp-icons/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spotted-national-park-stamp-icons http://www.hammilldesign.com/spotted-national-park-stamp-icons/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 01:58:40 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1300 Valerie Jar’s gorgeous collection of stamp icons the other day and had to share. This amazing series of icons was created for the National Parks by National Geographic iPhone app, an interactive guide to the national parks.

For those of us in the Berkshires, Memorial Day weekend brings along some of the best tent sales: Pine Cone Hill and Campo di Fiori. Need a rug? Duvet? Maybe some terra cotta pots? The Berkshires have you covered. Let the sales begin! ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/theres-just-something-about-may/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/happening-first-fridays-artswalk/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=happening-first-fridays-artswalk http://www.hammilldesign.com/happening-first-fridays-artswalk/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 12:36:48 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1276 First Fridays Artswalk in downtown Pittsfield. Over 20 venues along the South and North Street corridor will display works from local artists, including my talented friend Joanie Ciolfi (whose work I’ve become a mini-collector of). I’m a huge fan of her expressive oil paintings and was excited to see her new collection of abstract works that will be on display at Paul Rich & Sons this Friday. Of course, I was happy to help with the design of this postcard to promote her collection. Hoping for sunny weather for what will be a great night to stroll Upstreet, do a little shopping and check out some local talent.    ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/happening-first-fridays-artswalk/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/a-splash-of-color/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-splash-of-color http://www.hammilldesign.com/a-splash-of-color/#comments Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:48:14 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1264 Berkshire Country Day School on the redesign of their annual alumni magazine. We streamlined the look of this publication while maintaining the BCD brand through a fresh new color palette which really brought this piece to life. Speaking of color… BCD’s upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebration of the arts, the ArtSoiree, takes place this Saturday at the beautiful Stonover Farm in Lenox. I, for one, am looking forward to the colorful decor and music along with what I’ve heard will be an outstanding silent auction. Mark your calendars, as this is a wonderful way to support financial aid programs at BCD. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/a-splash-of-color/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/triple-threat/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=triple-threat http://www.hammilldesign.com/triple-threat/#comments Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:16:52 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1260 Crane Lettra Fluorescent White Paper + Crane Letterpress printing + Allison Crane…  with a combination like that, how can you go wrong?

The fact that my 3-year-old has had a crush on this color for the past year. Here is Andrew’s must-have guide for those fashionable enough to tango with Pantone’s hot color of 2012.

He not only shows off his fresh designer skills, but also introduces his personal side. (The mailing tube and accompanying t-shirt definitely seals the deal!)   And, check out this package I recently spotted by Kelli Marie. I love the business cards and coordinating resume in crisp black and white. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/spotted-resumes/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/shiny-and-new/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=shiny-and-new http://www.hammilldesign.com/shiny-and-new/#comments Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:52:42 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1211 Interprint‘s Leader Magazine. For those unfamiliar with this Pittsfield-based operation, Interprint is one of the worldwide leading decor printers. They design laminates which decorate a variety of surfaces, from flooring to countertops to furniture. This issue of the Leader announces the launch of an exciting new surface offering, for which a majority of this magazine is focused. To highlight (and in a way, make tangible) the exceptional qualities of this product, we gave the simple wood grain cover an ultra-glossy hit of spot UV coating. This in combination with a dull varnish makes the product’s logo pop. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/shiny-and-new/feed/ 0
